Buttercup84 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 So I'm finally going to go to therapy . Going to try and get an apointment this Friday. anyone here get help after their breakup ?
EgoJoe Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I did slightly before and resumed after it went down. Stopped going at some point for extraneous factors. I'm very proud of you for going and hope to see your posts about all of the profound things you're discovering.
mike588 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Yes I did just a few days after being dumped,,, I was so shattered! I went for 4 sessions and it did help alot. If it wasn't for alot of good people here I'd probably still be going. I suggest you go and I'm sure you will be glad you did!!! Please give it a try. Keep us posted
lonelynyc Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Had my first therapy session on Thursday. It helps to just get stuff off your chest and to start to understand things on less emotional terms. Congrats to you for taking that step!
momto3boys Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Yep the minute my husband said he wanted a divorce i called militaryonesource and found a counselor,had to sessions then moved but am going to go back up in my home state. It has helped me alot because i have a tendency of over thinking things, getting more upset than i should and constantly thinking about how bad things were. I would revolve my world around how horrible i felt and it got so bad that i could barely function.
TheDovic Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Had 4 counselling sessions which were helpful in so far as getting my head straight and having the opportunity to speak to someone neutral. However it didn't really help me too much because at this stage I had fallen into a deep depression and most talk therapies tend to make it worse. I have now had 5 sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and it has changed my life. I am no longer depressed and am feeling hopeful about the future. I still really miss my ex and think about her all the time, but seeing a light at the end of the tunnel makes the pain bearable!!!
lalalandman Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Yea she convinced me to go to therapy in the middle of the relationship because I had "issues". So I did an 18 week session with a counselor at my University. I never could really figure out why. Turns out she's the one who needed the therapy but manipulated me into thinking I needed to go. After we broke up (or before that time) she started seeing a therapist and taking heavy meds. But I guess a little therapy can't hurt for everyone...
ConfusedT Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 i think therapy can work, BUT you have to be ready for change to. other people can only do so much. i think it may be beneficial if you are at that point. unfortunately, i am relapsing every single few days. i dont know what happened...
Marianis Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 uff i went to therapy when i thought my life was over and she was nice and all.. i went like mm 8 times for like 3 months and then i stoped because i didnt like i had to always talk about him . :s which i do here anyway and its free .. i guess i wasnt ready to let him go and change but maybe ill go again and talk about me not about him i guess it will be better! try it! .. it helps!
Scirok Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I've been going for 3 months now and I'm not sure what it's doing for me its bringing a new life into respecting myself and my career. Yet the advice about my ex he gives me contradicts the advice on here so I don't know who to believe. But it's good to see a neutral opinion instead of your close friends just agreeing
